| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via e-mail:
Licensee reported that employee's truck, containing moisture density gauge, was stolen from employee's apartment complex parking lot in Hamilton, Ohio sometime between 1:30 AM and 7:00 AM on June 1, 2005. The gauge was chained inside the bed of the pick-up. Employee went home after late work assignment at remote location with the gauge still in the vehicle. The employee failed to follow licensee procedures requiring that the gauge remain in secure location at the remote job site or be returned to licensee's offices. The gauge is a CPN Model MC1DR, containing a 10 mCi Cs-137 source and a 50 mCi Am-241 source (maximum activities). The serial number is MD50407830. A police report (# 29319) has been filed with the Hamilton, Ohio police department. There is no indication at this time that the gauge itself was stolen for malicious purposes. This information is current as of 11:45 PM on 6/1/05. Ohio Reference Number: OH 2005-068
The licensee provided the following information via e-mail: Licensee called Ohio Department of Health (ODH) at 2:00 PM on 6/1/05 to report that truck and gauge had been recovered and that gauge was fully intact in shipping container. Licensee further stated that gauge was never technically stolen. Licensee's employee parked in the wrong space at the apartment complex and apartment management had the vehicle towed early this morning. The vehicle, with the gauge, had been at the Hamilton, Ohio police department vehicle impound lot until employee was notified that vehicle had been towed. Once notified, licensee recovered the gauge and is taking it to their Dayton office for storage. ODH representative (Owen) noted in a followup e-mail that [albeit the gauge was] not stolen, there remains an issue of adequate control in accordance with licensing requirements. R3DO (Burgess) and NMSS (Correia) notified. TAS (English) informed via e-mail. |
